Dance in the Dark’s bridge washed Vogue. Vogue in general is overrated af. 

 

I understand why stans hype it up and it's place in pop music, but I just don't think it's that good personally.

IICHLIWP by Halsey is AOTY of 2021 and her best album by far.

Madonna can't sing, like at all. Even if we want to say that technique isn't everything, her tone sounds like someone blowing through a straw. Just no. Patti spoke the truth.

never seen Evita, have you? or  listened to her jazz album "im breathless"

 

she's amazing at emoting and some girls who are technically better singers can't compete with that, hence why the covers they do of her songs suck. they just scream and show off. there's no real emotion

Charli is Charli XCX's worst album btw. Just an awful compilation of dated (or doa) songs with a few good songs thrown in with the trash.  

Spill

 

While we're at it, Sucker is criminally underrated and is better than Charli and Crash. Her Avril tribute 

[wantedyoutogrow]

Dangerous Woman is Ariana's most overrated album, like half of the album is unlistenable in the big year of 2023 and even Ariana agrees with this

[hallucinate]

chromatica is a good album & undeservedly hated

Dislike?? Lmaooo What in the twitter?? Cringe.

Yall can shade Janet Jackson all you want but in 50 years her career will remain more memorable and influential than almost all the girls ATRL stans

[CaptainMusic]

Taylor Swift isn’t considered a legend by anyone except Swifties and her songwriting is extremely overrated

[terrorblade]

taylor's lyricism is overrated

A lot of the gaes only "stan" artists like caroline polachek because they bandwagon everything p4k praises. a lot of people aren't listening to their own ears anymore

Or (hear me out) some of us just like pop music that’s more interesting than whatever Smile was

I have, that's part of why I don't think she can sing.  She simply doesn't have the vocal prowess to handle the score. Her Rainbow High in particular is awful and has no power behind it. It's like trying to run a car with the engine for a leafblower. "Emotions" don't change the fact that she simply struggles to produce the notes. 

 

I will say though that she has better footing with some of the more mellow songs like Don't Cry for me Argentina.

No, because my opinions seem to cause many to seethe in anguish or tremble in delight. 

 

But you know what, let's be messy

• Janet is a better performer than both Taylor and Beyonce.
• Katy will always be an a-lister regardless of if she flops obscurity.
• Obsessing over Matt Healy, does nothing and causes nothing, move on. In the words of Talk Talk, it's her life don't you forgot. 
• Pop music is not dead just because the mainstream is not what you like
• Just because Ayesha Erotica is trans does not mean she can use the n-word. (Girl her fanbase is so dense

Somehow my most controversial

  Hide contents

Despite the lies of the Britney Army and a small amount of the Lambilily (Most are lovely members), Xtina has impacted pop culture in a much larger way than their deluded stan war obsessions can handle. I mean she is the Voice of the Generation and brought social issues to the forefront in the Y2K era like a true artist would by the word of Nina Simone. 

 

Wait who said that about Ayesha

That’s kinda funny coming from a Lana stan when most of her music lyrically is the same I‘m a sad girl bc my daddy hit me in Hollywood :( shtick and sonically is amazing background music if youre trying to sleep (if you remove the whiny whisper vocals at least)

Vigilante **** is one of best songs on midnights 

[Katamari]

love Charli but she peaked with True Romance

[Katamari]

Dear reader is the best song on Midnights

[KatyPrismSpirit]

'Red' by Taylor Swift is overrated and a lot of y'all are made to believe that album is something it really isnt because of critics.

I guess it depends on your taste. I know Patti is technically a better singer, but I don't like her voice at all. (it's way too bombastic, like in a musical) she couldn't sing "live to tell" with the emotion and fragility madonna can. in some cases I think it helps the song when the singer doesn't try to have the "perfect" voice.

Whether you guys like to admit it or not, every single one of you, at one point, rooted for the true queen of rap, Miss Azealia Amanda Banks.

Snow On The Beach is kinda the

brand new eyes is paramore’s best album 

[wanderlust]

with women, it's assumed from the get go that they don't do ANYTHING other than sing. women in music need to constantly repeat the input they had, and even then, it's often not taken seriously or assumed the label is behind it.

 

with men, it's the opposite. everyone blindly assumes they did everything. it's not even questioned whether they wrote the song or not.

 

they don't even have to dress nice. on the contrary, when they dress like a homeless person they're more likely seen as deeply talented artists.

it goes even further than that: when they don't sing well, it's seen as rock and roll
